FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a carrying set for carrying objects by use ofa hooking handle and its accessories.

In general goods are carried by means of containers, some of which areencumbering and troublesome to handle and this may be tiring for people.

Moreover, for some objects a suitable carrier is often difficult tofind. For this reason people going shopping carry bags, sacks, andboxes. Unfortunately, the handles of plastic bags and the strings ofpackages often “cut” the hands.

This is an improvement patent over Stoft (WO091111368), and contains acarrying set comprising an improved carrying handle which can work incooperation with some accessories as retaining cable sets, specialpadding, a bottle carrier

BACKGROUND ART

Some hand carrying tools are known having a central handle and aconnecting apparatus at each end for carrying plastic shoppingcontainers.

In some of these carrying tools the handles are made lighter by means oflateral longitudinal recesses. The longitudinal recesses create emptyzones, which are not comfortable for the hands.

Such a tool is disclosed in Stoft (WO9111 1368), of which the presentapplication is an improvement. In Stoft a surface 60 is described as“writing surface” which can be attached either on the flat inner surfaceof a longitudinal recess, either on the external surface of an otherembodiment of said handle, having no recess. Pointing attention upon theembodiment without recesses, if said “writing surface” should be asurface supported by a thick body, if attached to such a handle withoutrecesses, should cause serious trouble to the hand of a user. That meansthat said “writing surface” is an attached surface supported by a verythin body as a sheet, useful only to being written upon. The same“writing surface”, if attached to the embodiment having recesses, shouldkeep the same features, and cannot be intended as a stopper filling saidrecess so as to eliminate the empty zones, which are not comfortable forthe hands. Said writing surface has no mechanical resistance forperforming the further feature of keeping in place a padding, (whichinstead is a feature of the present invention). Further, the connectingapparatus of Sotft is based on the existence of an enclosing segmentthat contours a rigid stepped down protrusion and does not provideaccessories to obtain a carrying set.

Handles having generally hook-shaped connecting apparatus at each endare also known, and are provided with thin passages which prevent theshopping containers from being disengaged when put down.

This means that:

-   -   The user must pay attention to place the shopping container        handles in the thin passage.    -   At the moment of disconnection the user must extract the        shopping container handles from the thin passage using both        hands. In this cases the user, if in a hurry, can lose time in        connecting or disconnecting.    -   said handles can carry only objects having a very thin hookable        portion, as plastic shoppers.

In some known handles (Clark, GB2218901A) there is a recess at each endwhich opens upwardly, provided with only one horizontal resilientretainer which, when removed, leaves only a thin passage. This has thedrawback that the unraveling of thin strings cannot be prevented by thistype of hooking apparatus.

In some other cases the thin passage is completely closed (Ducruox, FR201950561 A), but a two-hands maneuver is necessary for disengaging theload.

In some other handles mechanical parts are present which require adouble “two-hands” maneuver.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object: of the present invention to provide acarrying set using a handle for carrying objects which is comfortable,in which the engagement and disengagement with the objects is easy andable to connect also some accessories able to connect particularobjects.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a handle forcarrying objects in which padding can be easily added, replaced orremoved.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a handle forcarrying objects in which a removable surface is provided, which can bewritten or printed on.

These and further objects are achieved by the handle according to theattached claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention broadly comprises carrying set with anaccessorized handle for carrying objects (or connecting handle orcarrying handle or hooking handle) which is operatively arranged to beconnectable to objects by connecting apparatuses at each end of thehandle, as shown in the embodiments 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D of FIGS. 1,5,9,22,6.

In the preferred embodiment 1B (shown in FIGS. 5,10,11,14) the handlehas at is ends two connecting apparatuses, one being the mirror image ofthe other one. Each connecting apparatus is able to

-   -   1) hook and hold the weight of a load (carrying feature)    -   2) retaining the hooked parts of a hooked object also when        abandoned (closure feature)

The two features are performed by different members;

-   -   1) carrying feature is performed by a hook shaped member        internal to the apparatus (internal hook shaped protrusion 29,)    -   2) closure feature is performed by the cooperation of two        elastic opposite elements that work as adjacent elastic doors        (flexible tongue 4 and lower elastic protrusion 15 a).

This double elastic closure has two effects:

-   -   a) It permits to keep close the two sides of the closure    -   b) It permits a relevant opening space of said closure when        opened, in which can be introduced wide objects, such as ropes,        (FIG. 23).    -   c) It gives a very easy maneuver for insertion of the parts of        objects to be hooked and carried: it can be done by simply        pulling upwards the handle against the part to be inserted (FIG.        10).    -   d) It gives a very easy maneuver for the extraction of the        hooked parts of the carried objects: simply pulling away the        handle in the releasing direction (FIG. 11) can do it.

The handle is made padding able (FIGS. 6,7,12,13) by the existence of afront and rear longitudinal recess 56, in which a complementary-shapedelement or elongated lateral element or stopper 19 can be forced. Thestopper 19 keeps flat padding 28 in place, it can be printed foradvertising or have an additional writing surface attached.

Another kind of padding disclosed is the tubular padding of FIGS. 14,15.

The performances of the connecting handle can be powered by the use ofaccessories.

A hookable sliding cable set 32, shown in the embodiments of FIGS.16,17,18,19, 21-25, which permits the handle to connecting:

-   -   a) Objects having no hooking zone.    -   b) A plurality of objects.    -   c) A ski pair.

Further accessory is a strap shaped element useful for the carrying of abottle set, shown FIGS. 27,28,29, while in FIG. 30 is shown a secondmethod for the carrying of a bottle set.

Adverting now to the drawings:

FIG. 1 shows indicated as 1A, a connecting handle having a closureformed in cooperation by two opposite members:

The handle has a central portion 1 having two sides and two ends 17,18,having a face 17 c having a lower part 17 a and an upper part 17 b,having a hooking apparatus 2 which is formed by two opposite ends of twoprotrusions (Upper protrusion or flexible tongue 4, lower protrusion 13)

The hooking apparatus 2 has a closure that works thanks to thecooperation of two opposite flexible members

-   -   a) elongated flexible tongue 4 protruding from upper part 17 b        and having a tongue end 4 a, slightly curved downwards for        helping insertions.    -   b) A lower protrusion 13 composed by a substantially horizontal        corbel 10 protruding from lower part 17 a and curving upwardly        in a flexible element 15 having a thin portion 25 and an upper        thickened ending 12, having a downwards inclined surface,6        standing close and opposite to tongue end 4 a.

Therefore, when a hookable part of an object, (such as the straps 51 ofa shopper 50, as shown in FIGS. 10,11 for handle 1B) is pushed inwardsto the closure, both flexible tongue 4 and flexible element 15 beginflexing and tongue end 4 a and inclined surface 6 are moved in oppositedirections. This permits t to introduce the object. After introductionelasticity brings end 4 a and surface 6 again close to each other, toretain the object.

The carrying feature is performed by lower protrusion 13.

Lower zone 7 of central portion 1 is hand-shaped; central zone 16 is azone formed between parts 7, 14, so as to form, at each front/rear side,a longitudinal recess 56 in which an elongated lateral element orstopper 19 is forced in a position that locates its external surface orexternal side or external face 5 substantially at the same level of theedges 26 and 27 of lower zone 7 and of upper zone 14. A writing surface60 can be attached on the external surface 5 of stopper 19.

FIG. 2 shows front view of lateral element or stopper 19 with attachedwriting surface 60, showing a detail of its lateral part 9 rearlyprotruding from the edge 5 a of its external surface 5.

FIG. 3 shows the rear view of stopper 19, in which its rear face 5 b hastwo protrusions 21 each having groove joints 20, to be connected totongue joints 24, shown in FIGS. 4,5,7.

Front outline 5 a of external surface 5 of stopper 19 protrudes rearlyto form rear perimeter 22 and generates lateral part 9 of stopper 19

Obviously this type of joint is an example, as any known type of jointcould be used to hold the stopper in place.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of handle 1A, and shows insertion ofstoppers 19 with attached writing surface 60 in longitudinal recess 56.Rear protrusion 21 (protruding from rear face 5 b of stopper 19) hasgroove joint 20.

FIG. 4 a is a cross-sectional view of handle 1A, wherein stoppers havetongue joints 21.

FIG. 5 shows indicated as 1B, a connecting handle which can beconsidered as a handle 1A wherein there is an internal hook shapedprotrusion 29 extending upwards from the upper part of the end of saidcorbel 10 (which becomes a double ended corbel 10 a). From le lower partof corbel 10 a protrude flexible element 15 a

This permits to give to flexible element 15 a a longer and thinner thinportion 25 a than in precedent case (thin portion 25 of FIG. 1), whichincreases flexibility, and thus the dimension of space 11 generatedduring insertion and extraction maneuvers, and thus reduces maneuverefforts (as shown in FIGS. 10,11).

Therefore the hooking feature is performed by hook shaped protrusion 29,while closure feature is performed by the cooperation between flexibletongue 4 and flexible element 15 a.

A distance 23 permits free flexing of element 15 a

Lower zone 7 of the handle is hand shaped. In the figure stopper 19 hasnot been shown for better show the position of protrusions 24.

FIG. 6 shows handle 1D having a flat padding 28 kept in place, partiallyentering in longitudinal recess 56 that has a stepped down lower surface30 in its lateral inner surface 48. This permits to increase the spacebetween surface 30 and lateral surface 9 of stopper 19, and therefore toincrease the thickness of the padding.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 and shows the detail of howpadding 28 is kept in place over the lower zone 7 of handle 1D. Thepadding has holes (49, see FIGS. 12,13) complementary shaped to fit intoprotrusions 24

FIG. 8 illustrates that stoppers 19 can be disposed all together forprinting, since external side 5 is parallel to the opposite rearperimeter 22 of stopper 19. Therefore indicia for advertising can beeither printed on surface 5 with one only movement upon several stoppers19 adjacently positioned, either added upon writing surface 60 beforeattaching it on surface 5 of stopper 19. The shape of stoppers 19, forthe following of the design of the handle needs that a plane containingsaid external side 5 of said stopper and a plane containing a surface ofsaid lateral part 9 of said stopper form an oblique angle,

FIG. 9 shows the hand 52 of a user holding a connecting handle 1Bconnected to the handles 51 of a plastic shopper 50.

FIG. 10 shows that the handle 51 of plastic shopper 50 can be insertedin the connecting apparatus 3 of connecting handle 1B simply by pullingupwards the connecting handle 1B in hooking position. That movementproduces the opening in the closure as shown. In fact the pushing of thebag strap between surface 6 and tongue 4 causes the flexing of bothmembers 4,15 a, and therefore end 4 a and surface 6 move in oppositedirection and a passage 11 is generated.

FIG. 11 shows that the handle 51 of plastic shopper 50 can bedisconnected by in the connecting apparatus 3 of connecting handle 1B bysimply pulling upwards the plastic bag.

That movement produces the opening in the closure as shown

FIG. 12 Shows a plane embodiment of the padding 28 of FIG. 6

FIG. 13. Shows an embodiment of the padding 28 of FIG. 6 that iscomplementary shaped to the handle.

FIGS. 14,15 Show a tubular padding 28 b for a handle 1B. This padding isbuilt in foamy elastic material and in threaded upon the handle,therefore taking its shape

FIG. 16 shows an additional hookable sliding cable set 32 which permitsto connect to the handle objects having no hooking zone or else aplurality of objects, which can be kept tightened all together alsobefore and after the carrying. Cable set 32 comprises a loop shapedcable 39 threaded through a sliding stopper 35. Two loops are so formed:

-   -   a) An upper loop 37, above stopper 35, useful to be connected to        the handle.    -   b) A lower loop 33, under stopper 35, which can give way to a        sliding loop 34 if the end 33 a of lower loop 33 (or sliding end        33) is inserted into the beginning 33 b of loop 33, beginning        that is the portion immediately under stopper 35.

Stopper 35 works as an obstacle against the sliding of end 33 a in aloosing direction. This generates a method for easily wrapping objectsand keep them tight, having the possibility of hooking them.

By wrapping the inserted load 62 in sliding loop 34, the user can keepit tight by pushing stopper 35 against end 33 a. This action makeslarger the upper loop 37, which can be hooked by a hooking tool.

FIG. 17 shows a ring cable set 32 a wherein in loop 37 a ring 40 hasbeen inserted, performing the additional function to prevent anundesired removal of the stopper 35, when maneuvered in releasingdirection.

FIG. 18 shows an electric wire 56 kept tight by a cable set 32.

FIG. 19 shows a group of encumbering objects (a chair 54, first 53 andsecond 55 piece of a big shore umbrella) kept tight by two cable sets 32and hooked to connecting handle 1B.

FIG. 20 shows two users 57,57 a moving a sofa 59 by using two connectinghandles 1B connected by ropes 60,61 passed under sofa 59.

FIG. 21, 22 show a handle 1C wherein the connecting apparatus consistsof two ring-shaped bodies 84,84 a located at each end of the handle tobe connected by snap hooks 86 of cable set 32 c or 32 d. This handle isparticularly useful to the carrying of skis, in cooperation with specialcable sets 32 c or 32 d that are able to tight skis and to remainblocked on them. For the use of skis often includes rough situations, ithas been seen that a hooking handle could in some situations getdetached, while the connection between a ring shaped body and a snaphook can better resist.

FIG. 23 shows an embodiment 32 c of a ski holding cable set similar tocable set 32 of FIG. 16, but further comprising a snap hook 86 a and oneelongated friction blocking element 70. Snap hook 86 a threads cable 39in correspondence of upper loop 37 and has a ring 86 a or a hole thatpermits this threading. Elongated friction blocking element 70 has twoends and first 71 a of said two ends is engaged to said beginning 33 bof said lower loop 33.

This is possible because friction element 70 is a tubular elementthreading a loop shaped cable 72 coming out from first end 71 a in shapeof a loop and engaging beginning 33 b, and coming out from second end 71b of friction element 70 connected to a knot 73 (or to an equivalentobstacle to the sliding inwards to the tubular element).

It so is possible to keep a ski pair blocked in said sliding set 32 cthanks to the fact that the friction element 70 is compressed andblocked between skis when said skis 92,93 tightened by said sliding set.This prevents the sliding of cable set 32 c in length direction, whichis the problem of any ski holder.

FIG. 24 shows a second embodiment 32 d of a ski holding cable set. Itdiffers from set 32 c because the friction element 70 a cannot movedownwards when cable set extending t free (FIG. 26), and because it hasa elongated handy part 75 for better maneuver the cable set 32 d.Friction element 70 a is kept in place close to the beginning of lowerloop 33 because lower loop 33 is divided in two retaining areas 78,78 aby retainer 77. Loop 72 of friction element 70 a engages area 78 andkeeps in place friction element 70 a. Loop 72 of friction element hasconnector 74 that secures end 75 a of elongated handy element 75. Thismakes possible an easier maneuver for the insertion/extraction offriction element from its position between skis.

FIG. 25 is a cross sectional view of a ski pair blocked in cable set 32d

FIGS. 27, 28, 29 show how it is possible the carrying of a bottle set 64by the use of a simple strap shaped element 63 used for the carrying ofa bottle set 64 in cooperation with a carrying handle 1B.

Strap shaped element 63 has two ends 67,67 a and a ring shaped element66,66 a at each end.

It so is possible to include said strap shaped element 63 in the space68 between bottle set 64 and its handle 65 and then to connect each ofring shaped elements 66,66 a to each of ends 3,3 a of carrying handle1B. Bottle set 64 is so connected to carrying handle 1B thanks to strapshaped element 63.

FIGS. 30,31 show a method for packaging and the carrying of a packageThe method consists in providing the package with two ring shapedelements. In this example the package is epresented by a bottle set 64a, useful when the weight of is relevant. Bottle set is packaged wrappedin a flexible element 64 b in which are threaded two ring shaped bodies64 c, 64 d, useful to be hooked by carrying handle 1B

All elements of the carrying set disclosed can be built in plasticmaterial, such as Nylon and the like, permitting the production of veryinexpensive carrying tools having great utility.
